After the drinks arrived we started discussing Namibia with our server. She shared her experiences and told us a key point, make sure you run down the sand dunes. Miles away both physically and mentally we sipped cocktails at the Grand in Camps Bay, Cape Town. In just a few days we’d put on hiking […]

The Cholla Cactus Garden of Joshua Tree National Park
The desert clears your mind and calms your soul. A hike through the trails of the beautiful, and barren, provide the perfect cure for a clouded mind. On such a hike through Joshua Tree National Park I discovered more than the tree, but also a cactus cure. I woke up early, very early. I started […]
A Lesson Learned on the Pacaya Volcano Hike in Guatemala
Admission to the park was prepaid with my tour, but the guide insisted I needed to pay (again). Even my conversational Spanish proved useless.

Lake Atitlan – A Kayak of Cultural Discovery in Guatemala

Yes, smell is powerful and there is much to learn; fragrances are a great place to start. To appreciate wine, one begins with a wine […]

This year Campus Crashers selected Texas A&M and a trip to College Station for a late September showdown. The Aggies hosted the Cowboys of Oklahoma State in a top 10 match-up at Kyle Field. But even before we packed our bags to travel to Texas, the Zone TexAgs Sports Radio, set up to interview us. TexAgs […]
The Tropical Garden Brunch Adventure
Sometimes the setting makes the meal. Sometimes, it’s the views, and other times it’s the mission of a place that can make every bite taste a tad better. At the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, an exquisite brunch with an outside garden view made for a perfect Easter Sunday meal. Sunday brunch, buffet style, included unlimited […]
